[wxlua-users] Referencing objects

[Andreas F. <an...@fa...>]

Hi,

what's the recommended way to prevent objects from being garbage collected?
For example, I create a wxImageList and pass it to wxNotebook::SetImageList().
As wxNotebook::SetImageList() doesn't take ownership of the list it could
happen that the garbage collector kills the wxImageList that I passed to 
SetImageList().

To prevent it from being collected I could assign the wxImageList to a global
variable but that doesn't look like a nice solution.... it would be nicer
if it were possible to reference the wxImageList somehow but I don't see
how this is possible. wxObject has a Ref() method but that doesn't seem to
be up for the job. 

Any hints?
